Top five overrated rebounders
Howard, Cousins among top glass-cleaners who post empty numbers
One of the most frustrating aspects of analyzing a sport with many moving parts and player interactions -- like basketball -- is that diminishing returns rear their ugly heads just about everywhere.
Unlike baseball, a sport in which the marginal value of a given action at the individual level is essentially the same at the team level -- upgrading to a new third baseman who hits 10 more home runs than the old one, for instance, will result in 10 more home runs for the team -- adding, say, a prolific individual rebounder does not necessarily mean the team will reap big benefits on the boards.
Why is this? The main reason is that the act of rebounding involves players competing not just with opponents but also with members of their own teams. There are only so many boards to go around on a team, and often seemingly productive rebounders rack up gaudy totals in part by "stealing" boards from teammates, rather than adding extra rebounds to their teams' bottom lines.We can detect this phenomenon in a number of ways. First, just take a look at the greatest rebounding seasons of all time, and the impact they had on teammates' rebounding numbers.
Since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976-77, there have been 689 instances of a player logging at least 1,500 minutes for a single team in a season while grabbing at least 16 percent of available rebounds while on the floor. If diminishing returns aren't a big factor, we'd predict their teammates to have roughly average rebounding percentages. However, out of those 689 players, only three had teammates who collectively posted an above-average rebounding rate. This is either a remarkably improbable coincidence or strong evidence that at least some of the boards pulled down by big-time rebounders have been taken away from teammates, not opponents.
The phenomenon also occurs when examining the impact of adding a great rebounder to a team. Since the merger, the 165 NBA teams that added a player who met our prior qualifications only improved their rebound percentages by an average of 0.4 points, despite adding rebounders who were, on average, 7 percentage points better than average. In fact, 62 of those 165 teams (38 percent) failed to see their rebounding performance improve at all.
The following five players are examples of this phenomenon -- their individual rebounding numbers are impressive, but they don't seem to add much to their teams' rebounding performance when they're on the floor.

About This Project
I am so excited about this project! I re-did my entire little man's room. It included a ton of Ana's projects! The closet, $10 ledges, step stool and the toy storage. This was quite the venture for me, I have done a lot of plans from Ana, but this one was a lot - a lot of painting. And hanging the doors, was a challenge :)
I couldn't be more happy. My little man didn't want to leave his room he was so excited!

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., and
Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI;
www.vasco.com), a leading software security company specializing in authentication products and services, today announced that the Business Club Bavaria, a German club that enables business people to build strong relationships via a trustworthy social network, will implement VASCO's authentication service MYDIGIPASS.COM.
Precious business relations are often built through personal contacts during the events organized by the business club. But also the club's protected online platform contains important contact information as well as other confidential details. This private information will be secured by MYDIGIPASS.COM's two-factor authentication.
MYDIGIPASS.COM is VASCO's hosted consumer authentication platform in the cloud. The platform combines high-level security with ultimate user convenience. Instead of logging on with a static password, members will use a dynamic password to access the member section of the website. The business club members can register themselves on www.mydigipass.com and download the free DIGIPASS for Mobile application.The password will be generated by the DIGIPASS app installed on their mobile device.
"Trust is a high value in our business club," says Business Club Bavaria President Kajetan Brandstätter. "On the Internet, it is very easy to misuse trust. All too often, fraudsters steal access codes and then use the stolen identity as their own. The reputation damage for our business club in that case would be tremendous. We are the first business club to offer our members a real workable and safe security concept."
"We are glad we could convince Business Club Bavaria of the value of MYDIGIPASS.COM," states Jan Valcke, President and COO at VASCO Data Security. "Most ASPs and other online providers only react after a security breach. Business Club Bavaria is the first business club to set an example. This radiates confidence and security towards their members and future members."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Their visas were initially denied. On their next trip to the U.S. consulate in Dubai (there isn't one in Iran), visas were handed out without question.
"We asked them, 'What happened? You hated us two weeks ago,'" Raam recalls. "They said, 'You have a very, very powerful fan in the United States. We had no idea. It was only later we found out what happened."
It seems, at the behest of a music agent, that New York senator Charles Schumer faxed the consulate a letter on the band's behalf. The men of Hypernova are hopeful that this type of good fortune (just like landing on the Sisters tout) stays with them. When the guys hit these shores, they carried little more than $400, a guitar, a suitcase and a big heart. Energized by the band's success since then, Raam says he wants to prove rock music can come from "an obscure place like Iran." With their visas expiring in 2011, that leaves them just three years to make their mark.
"We never planned on staying more than two weeks, and two weeks has turned into two years, almost," Raam happily recounts before breaking into laughter. "Back in Iran, my mom walks around telling everyone, 'My son is a rock star.' Every day, it just keeps getting better."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm slowly trying to come to terms with Fontlab, even though it's not a intinutive GUI.
I still do most of my work in Fog and only use Fontlab for the last bits. However,
when opening my files in Fontlab, some of my tangent points
are gone and replaced. (see image below)
Why is that? Is it just a preference that I missed?
Or doesn't Fontlab handle tangent points? How will I then be able to make smooth transitions?
Anyone out there with FL wisdom?
Peter --
I'm going to guess that what is happening is the translation from FOG to Postscript to FL. Postscript doesn't make a distinction about point types, coding only the coordinates of the on-curve points and the associated control points. If I'm not mistaken, PS doesn't handle decimal places, so coordinates are rounded to the nearest integer when a PS font is generated. Non-orthogonal curves and tangents are particularly susceptible to this.
When FL reads the PS data from the font, I'm guessing that if the points aren't exactly colinear (due to rounding) that FL will not interpret them as tangent points per se. I would presume that your points and controls are still in the proper places (allowing for rounding). I'd be curious to see a screenshot with the control handles showing. For instance, did FL add a handle to the bottom side of that lower, outside curve point?
I'm just starting the arduous transition to FL myself and am by no means an expert. Someone more technically savvy, like John Hudson, might have a better explanation.
-- Kent.
Hi Kent,
I know I read somewhere about different types of round points in FL.
I thought I read it here at Typophile but I can't find it.
But even if that's the case, I would
like to know which curve points are tangent like points by just looking.
Here's a closer example (Fog version to the left).
Sorry about the large image, but otherwise it's hard to see.
Peter --
I've been thinking about this and spending some time with the FontLab manual.
I had an insight that I think might help.
The FOG model is point-based. But the FontLab model is segment-based.
What I mean is that in FOG you are usually focused on what kind of point
you're placing. Whereas in FL, the emphasis is on what kind of line segment
is being operated on. FOG has three kinds of points -- corner, curve, and
tangent. FL doesn't make these distinctions.
FL distinguishes between two different kinds of line segment -- a straight line
(which they also call a vector) and a curve (a bezier curve). A curve is described
by four points -- two end points on the curve (nodes) and the two bezier
control points on the handles. A straight line is controlled by only two nodes --
one at either end, with no control handles.
FL also distinguishes two different kinds of transitions between line segments --
a node can either be a smooth connection or a sharp connection.
So, if you have a curve meeting another curve, then the node will have two
control handles, one contributing to each of the two curves. If the connection
is smooth, then the two handles will be co-linear -- that is, they are linked
and stay aligned with each other -- so this kind of node is what FOG would call
a curve point.
If two curves meet and the connection is sharp, then the two control handles
can be moved independent from one another. This node would then constitute
a corner point in FOG.
If two straight line segments meet, then the node does not have any control
handles and is necessarily sharp. This would also be considered a corner point
in FOG.
If a straight line meets a curve, then the node will have one control handle on
the curve side. If the connection is sharp, then this control handle can move
any which way and the node would be considered a corner point in FOG.
But if the connection is smooth, then the control handle on the curve side
will be co-linear with the vector segment meeting up with the curve and will
only move in a line with this vector -- and this is what FOG would call
a tangent point.
Does this help?
So, you need to notice whether the node between a straight line and a curve
is smooth or sharp. When it is selected, you will see off to the side of the
node either a circle (smooth connection) or an x (sharp connection). You can
also turn on all connection types for every node, whether selected or not, by
selecting the button from the View/Show Layers toolbar.
So, for example, if you select the node on the top of the inside of your
counter, you will see whether it is a smooth connection or not. If it isn't,
then double click the node to toggle the connection style. When the connection
is smooth, then you can change the "curve" on the right side to a straight line
by selecting the right control handle of the node and deleting it. (Deleting
either control handle of a segment will convert it to a straight line vector, since
a curve needs to be defined by two control handles.)
Once the right-hand segment is a straight line and the left-hand segment is a
curve and the node is a smooth connection, then the handle on the left will
only move in line with the straight segment and you will have, in effect, a
tangent point.
I hope this makes sense and is helpful.
-- Kent.
To follow up on Kent's thorough description, I wanted to add that FL has an excellent way of keeping users on their toes with regard to what is allowed in the world of PostScript Type 1 fonts:
FL doesn't let you form a curve by anything other than two points with control handles. In Fontographer, you're allowed to create a curve that has a BCP handle on one end, and an "empty" point on the other end. But this can produce errors, since it is effectively creating a point-on-top-of-point situation. FL shows you that this is happening by immediately introducing a complimentary BCP handle when you create a curved segment. It invites you to define the curve properly.
FL also makes you aware of the nature of Type 1 curves, by making the "closepath" and start/end points a tangible part of the path. This can be disorienting at first, and seem like a hassle, but it reveals the nature of the curves and allows greater control.
Lastly, if you turn on the "connection type" layer as Kent suggests, FL does another neat thing: when two consecutive BCP handles cross each other's paths, the connection type indicator flips to the opposite side of the point, notifying you that the curve is not constructed as well as it could be.
Lastly lastly, setting the preferences to show points in color is another handy visual cue.
Thank you Kent (and Alan) for the thorough explanation, I finally got it sorted out.
I realise that I will have to learn a whole new concept on how to work on my faces...sigh.
Or hoping for a more Fog-like interface in the upcoming versions. I guess it will have to be a gradual transition
> In Fontographer, you're allowed to create a curve that has a BCP handle on one end, and an "empty" point on the other end.
And this is "illegal"? Are you sure?
What a bummer. I use that structure all the time, mostly because it's much more elegant: less redundant data -> more control.
On the other hand, I have noticed that strange things happen when such structures are output as a TT font from Fog, for some reason.
Yes, Hrant. To the best of my knowledge, that is considered a Type 1 no-no. It's my understanding that BCPs are considered points, along with vertices. When you create a one-sided curve, you are invisibly creating a BCP on the opposite end of the curve. That invisible BCP (invisible in Fog, at least) is located directly on top of the vertex, so then you have a point-on-point situation. Whether or not this is as likely to cause spiking as two vertices on top of each other, I'm not sure. But it's worth staying away from it (yeah, it's annoying, I agree).
Alan, could you post an illustration? I'm having trouble visualizing the situation you describe.
Alan, Hrant --
I'm not a real Postscript jockey, but to the best of my
understanding I'm not so sure that the one-bcp-handled
curve is necessarily "illegal." The thing is that the
various Postscript curveto commands require a
set number of arguments, based on the assumption of
two handles and endpoints (actually, the first point is a
given, so generally only six arguments are required.
You can reference the T1 Font Format, Ch. 6, pg 52.)
The thing about FL is that it constructs curves with the
same assumption. But if you create a single-handled
curve in FOG, all that means is that the generated PS
instruction will contain a few arguments whose values
are zero. There's no restriction or caution about these
arguments being non-zero, as far as I can tell.
I think that since these arguments only seem to be
calculation values, this construction wouldn't constitute
any point-on-point sort of violation. But who knows
what happens when Hrant tries to convert to TT.
But Hrant, you don't gain any worthwhile savings in
terms of data points in the actual PS-generated font.
Maybe a digit here or there, but who's counting? Again,
I don't know about TT.
> you don't gain any worthwhile savings
I didn't mean in the actual font data, but in the user's head: when you're making/adjusting a curve, there's less to handle (at least up to a point).
Mark - I've attached a series of images demonstrating the issue with the BCPs. The first image is how you might construct a curve in Fog (the point with the red circle is "empty"). The second image is how this exact outline opens in FL 4.5. The yellow dot you see in the middle of that point is a BCP that is lying directly on top of its vertex. (This is how FL translates the "empty" point when the other side has a BCP.) The third image is ideally how it should be constructed.
However, if what Kent says is correct, then this is all a moot point. But this is just how I've learned it.
Even if it's actually legal, I guess it's still probably better to avoid "empty" curve-recieving points, at least in the final result. Hmmm, Python script, anyone?
A similar thing (legal but ill-advised) is to leave off explicit inflection points (like in the spines of an "s"), although this is actually commonly done by some otherwise fine designers (if rarely in very obvious spots such as the "s" spines). One good reason to define all your inflection points explicitly is TT output/conversion - it consistently blows up, at least in Fog. But I think there are other reasons too. Fortunately, you can easily spot a missing inflection point: the BCPs will be on opposite sides of the curve.
> Fortunately, you can easily spot a missing inflection point: the BCPs will be on opposite sides of the curve.
FL 4.5 used to be able to point them out with the FontAudit layer turned on. But it doesn't work for me any more. Any idea why? (It also won't let me turn *off* checking for semi-horizontal and vertical vectors, even though it's unchecked in the prefs.)
Alan --
I've been noticing the exact same problem with font
audit. I appreciate the feature, but I wish turning off
the semi-horizontal and semi-vertical vector alert really
worked. Very annoying.
From your diagram above, the Postscript instruction for
the first would end up something like
0 0 -66 -81 -103 0 rrcurveto *
(Note: I'm assuming this is the bottom curve of a
counter and thus the direction is clockwise. I don't
know your actual coordinates, so this is just an
approximation based on the pixel dimensions of your
The instruction for the second would be more like
-33 -37 -60 -44 -76 0 rrcurveto
I don't really follow the *math* for applying the Bezier
equation, so I don't know if those initial zeros in the
first instruction would pose any potential weirdness.
I do know that trying to geometrically construct a
single-handled bezier is a little odd.
For whatever it's worth.
* I suppose, technically, this first instruction could even
be written as 0 -66 -81 -103 vhcurveto, but I bet
that would really lead to interpretive weirdness.
Even if it's actually legal, I guess it's still probably better to avoid "empty" curve-recieving points, at least in the final result.
Not least because this is illegal in a TrueType font, so if your outline is going to be the source for any TT format conversion such constructions should be avoided. The MS Font Validator will report such constructions as outline errors.
FontLab will convert "single-handed" cubic curve into correct TT curve using the alternative curve conversion algorithm. There was a problem with version 4.0.x and maybe early releases of the 4.5, but now it works fine.
There is no trouble to render single-handed curve to series of short straight lines (as most rasterizes do before filling the outline), so I don't think PostScript or ATM will have any problems rendering these curves.
Theoretically single-handed curves may cause a problem during conversion to the quadratics when this case is not separately handled, which means that I'd recommend to avoid this type of curves where possible.
I think some algorithm may be developed which will convert single-handed curves to normal ones using some form of approximation. It might be a good example of nice Python programming in FontLab :-)
> I think some algorithm may be developed which will convert single-handed curves to normal ones
But above that you wrote: "FontLab will convert 'single-handed' cubic curve into correct TT curve" so don't you have the algorithm already?
BTW, a possibly related question:
I'm curious, where did you get the factor of 0.55197 when making a "perfect" circle?
>But above that you wrote: "FontLab will convert 'single-handed' cubic curve into correct TT curve" so don't you have the algorithm already?
Well, you can convert single-handed curve to quadratic curve and back, but as a result you will get 2 cubic curves. I mean that I can imagine algorithm which will convert single-handed curve to one "normal" curve. Alan Dague-Greene provided good example of what I mean.
>I'm curious, where did you get the factor of 0.55197 when making a "perfect" circle?
Did we publish this number somewhere or you just draw a very big circle in FL? :-)
Actually I don't remember how it was calcualted in the early days of FL, but now I would do it this way (pardon my math): measure a distance (along x or y direction) from the point located at 45 degrees on a curve and a midlle point of the one-quarter curve. On a curve it is: R * (4 + 3 * X) / 8 [where X is a value we want to find], on a circle: R / sqrt(2).
Finally our X is [in C math notation]: (8 / sqrt(2) - 4) / 3
Precise value is: 0.55228474983079339840225, which is quite close to the value we use in FL (and which history I don't remember).
> 0.55197
I saw it in some Python scripts that come with FL.
> now I would do it this way ....
Hmmm, I really want to follow this bit, but I'm not sure
what factor (= 0.55197) you're referring to, Hrant. So I
don't quite follow Yuri's explanation. Could you back up
a step and let me in on what you're calculating here?
There is no way to draw a precise circle with the cubic Bezier curve, but it is possible to approximate it. You can draw a 1/4 of a circle (90 degrees) with a single curve with a minimal error: to do that you need to set a length of each BCP to that magical factor multiplied to circle radius. As an experiment you can draw a circle in FL (it will produce 4 curves) and measure the length of each curve's BCP. Then take a calculator and divide it to half of the curve's diameter.
Btw, it looks that calcualtion in my previous message may not give the best approximation. It will place the middle point of the curve exactly on the circle, but total approximation error may not be minimal. To calculate the ideal "factor" you need to render a curve and then approximate it with the curve minimizing the total error. As I understand it is how we got the original value.
Well, it's probably not really related to the main issue. But here's an explanation: if you draw a "perfect" circle (using the application's tool, or maybe a physical one and then trace it), and you measure the length of the BCP arms in each quadrant, they are about 0.552 of the whole length. This is the value required in cubic bezier math to get a "perfect" circle. BTW, "perfect" is in quotes because you really can't represent a true circle in beziers (of any order).
The way this might be related to the main issue is this: if you were to convert a one-sided curve to a near-equivalent two-sided one, some sort of preset factor values might be the trick.
Okay, thanks; I thought that might be what you guys were talking about.
(I still don't quite understand how you derived your formula, but that's okay.)
I know that this is an old, dead thread, but I have an observation about tangent curves.
As far as I know, FreeHand and Fontographer (both developed by Alstys) were the only PostScript drawing programs that have ever supported tangent curves

I started with a Hozelok kit which included a range of drippers from single flow rate to adjustable types. It included a pressure regulator for tap connection. It even has a mini sprinkler on a spike which is a bit much for use on the greenhouse but would be more useful on a veg bed.
I also had a couple of Hozelok timers but they both failed after a few years. One was left out too long and froze so user error there but the other developed faulty switching on the solenoid valve. I tried opened up the broken one for spare parts and found out how cheaply made they were and gave up on them.
The Galcon stuff looks good but may be overkill for watering a few tomatoes in a small greenhouse. Had a look at the Antelco website too, lots of bits for making a custom setup but looks to be a business site rather than for retail sales.
A Singing Ringing tree. Probably just gave away my age!
How close are they to each other? If the Salix and Hydrangea are mature I would have expected the apple to be suffering rather than the other way round.
It isn't really a pot plant as it grows into a large shrub, mine are around 12 feet tall. I expect it would be OK in a large pot for a few years before it outgrew it though. I get some dieback on the tallest shoots in a hard winter but otherwise they are very tough. I have acid soil and a reasonably damp climate for the Surrey/Sussex borders.
First thing to check when any pot plant dies is for signs of vine weevil. These horrible little blighters will destroy anything in a pot.
Depending on the size of the concrete slab I would suggest topping it up with another layer of concrete to get a level surface. Alternatively lay a couple of courses of bricks to form a new base for the greenhouse, taking care to make them level and square. In either case simply screw the greenhouse onto the base using Rawlplugs in the holes you drill in the concrete/brick or fixings like these http://www.screwfix.com/p/multi-monti-flanged-hex-head-shield-anchors-6-x-50mm-pack-of-100/84748. You could lay a bead of mastic under the frame before you screw it down for added security and sealing.
Crab apple on M9 rootstock - flowers in Spring and fruit for jelly and for the birds.
This is the one I use. http://www.gardena.com/uk/water-management/water-controls/water-timer-t-1030-d/
There are timers around which will do what you want. I have a Gardena timer which can be set for a variety of on times ranging from 1 to 120 minutes. It can also be set to operate on different days of the week rather than every day.
The optimum volume of water will vary depending on weather, aspect, shelter etc. so it is worth experimenting as far as possible in advance to find out what works best. If in doubt less is better than more.
You can coppice alder. Leave it until the Autumn then cut it down to about 6 inches high. It will then re-grow with multiple stems. You can repeat the process every 5 years.

Billionaire businessman Boonchai Bencharongkul was formally engaged yesterday to movie star Bongkot "Tak" Kongmalai in a ceremony held at his art museum. The wedding date is still uncertain.

"We are very different. I'm a businessman, and she's an actress, with a large age gap between us," admitted billionaire Boonchai Bencharongkul at his engagement ceremony with movie star Bongkot "Tak" Kongmalai, best known for her erotic roles.
The 58-year-old founder of Total Access Communication PLC, operating under the Dtac brand, is 31 years older than his fiancée.
But they do have things in common Tak has said previously. She said she fell for Mr Boonchai because of a mutual love of art and because he is a sensitive person who loves his family and is grateful to his parents.
Boonchai's love of art, his sensitivity, his love of family and gratefulness to his parents were the key factors in winning her heart, Tak says. Money was never a consideration. APICHIT JINAKUL
His money had nothing to do with it, she told sceptical reporters in an earlier interview. In fact, she had no idea Mr Boonchai was a billionaire when they met and she would not have associated with him if she had known about that.
Tak's mother, Thanapa Kongmalai, agreed. "Money isn't a factor. They're in love and that's enough," she said yesterday.
Mrs Thanapa also said the wedding was likely to take place next year.
Mr Boonchai sounded less certain.
"I hope to marry in the New Year, though I haven't really thought about it. Nor have I thought about whether to have kids," he said yesterday
"For now, we are engaged. That's a way of telling the world that we're together. It's a way of paying respect to each other," he said.
Yesterday's ceremony took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Moca) owned by Mr Boonchai. He presented his fiancée with a three-carat diamond ring.
Mr Boonchai, a father of five, has had five previous wives. His fifth ex-wife is also a former actress, Benja Baramee.
He and his family ranked 13th in Forbes magazine's "Thailand's 40 Richest 2012'' list released recently, with assets of about US$990 million.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Clip: You Can Die When Kirk Allows You to Die
The latest clip from 'Star Trek Into Darkness' is the most intense yet, showing a confrontation between a heated Captain Kirk and his prisoner, the terrorist John Harrison.
The latest clip from 'Star Trek Into Darkness' is the most intense yet, showing a confrontation between a heated Captain Kirk and his prisoner, the terrorist John Harrison.
The Enterprise crew will face its greatest enemy yet in 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' Benedict Cumberbatch's mysterious John Harris will bring destruction and chaos to many, and now it looks like Zachary Quinto's Spock might not make it to the end of this story either.
Tonight's MTV Movie Awards offered new trailers and footage from several upcoming Summer movies and among them was short new trailer JJ Abrams' 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' In the mood for big sci-fi action? Then this looks like the film for you.
Anybody who thinks Reddit is just for misogyny and creepy porn is only PARTLY right. They do their fair share of good as well. The story of a man dying of cancer is one such instance. Thanks to the good people of Reddit this loyal Trekkie will get to see some, if not all, of the new 'Star Trek' movie before he dies, thanks to the one and only J.J. Abrams.
The last 'Star Trek Into Darkness' trailer wasn't enough for you? And the 9-minutes of 'Star Trek Into Darkness' footage in IMAX theaters with 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' wasn't enough either? How about yet another 'Star Trek Into Darkness' trailer this morning to whet your whistle! And the good news is, we get a ton of new footage in here.
When it comes to 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' the main talking point is without question the identity of Benedict Cumberbatch's character. Is he playing an updated version of a classic villain, say, Khan for example? The word thus far from the creative team has been a definitive no -- but who ever trusts what these notoriously secretive folk say anyway?
Today the denials get firmer, as we have Cumberbatch himself weighing in, talking in some detail about who his character is and what his name isn't -- and that it is NOT Khan.

Over the course of the past two decades, Judith Butler has become one of the world's most important intellectual figures, inspiring controversy, not with the flamboyant generalizations of European counterparts like Slavoj Zizek and Alain Badiou, but with patient rhetorical analyses of both philosophical classics and contemporary political discourse. More»
The Spoken For
It's wise to be wary when politicians speak of children and imperative when they purport to speak for them. Invoking the innocent lives that need to be protected from harm, particularly from themselves, may be the most clichéd move in the playbook, but it also remains one of the most effective. Who better to represent than those who are not permitted to represent themselves? More»
Colonial Responsibilities
My mother couldn't believe they chose to broadcast The Honourable Woman when tensions in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict are at a high, both on the ground and in the world that watches. The TV miniseries, which just ended its run in the UK, and which is still airing on Sundance in the US, is spy thriller meets melodrama, fitting for a political topic which invites such impassioned urgency, even for those without stakes in the Middle East.

Gaza Kids Hit Berlin
Today, with the resumption of Israel's bombardment of Gaza, a group of Berliners disturbed by the high proportion of infant and child deaths took the names of the deceased and fly-postered them across the German capital. The action had three goals in mind. More»
Their Ideal Israel
Larry Gordon assured me that it was all a big misunderstanding. Sure, his Long Island newspaper, the 5 Towns Jewish Times, printed an article by his son and staffer, Yochanan, titled "When Genocide Is Permissible." In considering how Israel can protect itself from rocket fire the author ponders the unthinkable, and while the paper officially apologized, Gordon insisted that the outraged public got it wrong.

Gaza and the Holocaust Mentality
This month, as Germany accepted the mantle of World Cup Champions in football, my home town of Berlin was awash in both World Cup merriment and a sea of contradictions. On the news, pictures of the victorious German team ran alongside headlines about bombings in Gaza, creating an awkward clash of emotion, forcing me to wonder if anyone else was connecting the dots. More»
Pakistan's Gaza
Pakistanis love Gaza. The intense brutality of Israeli military campaigns there has always elicited our sympathy. As a result, we offer our solidarity, in the hopes that we can help change things for the better. Things aren't that simple, though, and many Pakistanis fail to recognize that our tendency to view the conflict in religious terms isn't helpful. More»
Certainty and Schizophrenia
Demonstrators filled the Kurfürstendamm for miles, or so it seemed. From block to block, all one could see were hijab-clad Arab women, holding aloft yellow and green Hezbollah banners, punctuated by the furry hats of Neturei Karta ultra-orthodox. For tourists, the sight was confounding. Terrorist sympathizers, walking arm-in-arm with religious Jews? In Germany's capital? More»
Judean Death Cult
As I read the article, I started shaking. Tears streamed down my face. It was about an old man in Beit Hanoun, Gaza. On Friday night, eight members of his family, including his sons, daughters and grandchildren, had finished their Iftar meal and sat down to watch a popular television show. A few minutes into it, an artillery shell ripped through their home, killing them all, including children aged six, two, and one. More»

I just got mine yesterday, a 4 burner 7 gauge steel one. I'm already in love. :) I seasoned it. I think I did a pretty good job, though the process made it pretty clear that the burners don't heat extremely evenly. There are four dark brown circles on the griddle from where it lays over the burners, whereas the middle is not as seasoned. Anyhoooo, how do I clean this bad boy? Last night I grilled vegetables on it, using just a bit of vegetable oil and used my spatula to scrape off any scraps. This morning I made pancakes and bacon, which left quite a bit more debris. Do you use water on the hot griddle (hibachi style)? Or just scrape? Do you use a special tool? What should it look like after it's been cleaned? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure about the Chef King, but If it's similar material, (3/8" cold rolled steel), I can tell you about my Bluestar griddle that's been used daily for over a year. I've never used soap, and only used small amount water (when hot, as a de-glaze), a couple of times. Other than that, when finished cooking, and still warm, I scrape it with a flat spatula, or use this stainless drywall knife which works ideal! Then just a wipe with a paper towel. In other words, I treat it as I do my vintage cast iron skillets....in time, it will become more and more non stick, and eggs will slide right off :) |

Thanks for the photo and reply. I need to do a better job scraping - mine looks a little gunkier than that. I'm obsessed with cooking on it! |
If you have a gunk build up, try he Scotch brite stainless scrubs ... they work great for getting back down to a smooth surface, but remember no soap, detergent or cleansers! oil or water only... |

This really is a great and easy recipe. The only change we made was to use a splash of orange juice instead of the whole orange because we didn't have one. It was a hit at our party.

MALE ENHANCEMENT: Fashion Group International and GQ hosted a panel discussion Tuesday at 4 Times Square on the male consumer and the economy. Dana Telsey, chief executive officer of Telsey Advisory Group, warned tight inventories and lower prices will make for a challenging holiday season. "If people are expecting an up holiday, that's pretty tough to do on down prices and down inventory," she noted.
Telsey said creating "retail as theater" through events such as Fashion's Night Out is key to keeping consumers excited about shopping in the tough economy. Martine Reardon, executive vice-president of marketing and advertising at Macy's, agreed, noting Fashion's Night Out "gave people permission to go shopping again without feeling guilty." She added that cause marketing platforms, such as the retailer's current "Come Together" promotion, aimed at providing 10 million meals to needy Americans, connects the brand to shoppers "on an emotional level so they want to be your friend."
Marc Schneider, president of dress furnishings at Phillips-Van Heusen, decried the industry's current reliance on lowering prices. "Price is only one dimension of value," he said. "Real value is a combination of great product, great design, great logistics, planning and allocation and great in-store POS and marketing."
John Bartlett, creative director of the Claiborne by John Bartlett label, said he is influenced by technical advances in fabrics and pointed to activewear maker Lululemon as a trailblazer in this area. "Their silhouettes are great. They've got the best T-shirts on the market, and they combine techno-fabrics with something that could be sexy and you could wear out at night."

As the days are warming up, it's the perfect time to spend more time outdoors. Personally, I'm going to jump on my bike in a minute and ride to a lake and go for a swim!
What are your plans this summer to explore the natural world? Be it a lovely park in NYC, backpack in the Sierras, or take the kids for a walk on a leafy green-lined street.
I hope you will also consider enjoying as much fresh and organic foods. This way you will be even healthier while you experience these lazy days of summer.
And for those of us who are workaholics – let's all remember to slow down a bit and enjoy life. Don't worry, your emails and Twitter messages will be there when we get back from our walk, bike ride, yoga class or run!
In this newsletter we have a delicious Hemp Salad recipe, and a super discount of Nutiva's Organic Hemp Oil in Green Glass. Also, check out the movie review of "Food, Inc." – you do not want to miss this movie!

Spike Protection
You and I use electrical and electronic equipment each day. Computers, lights, refrigerators, coffee makers, toasters, microwaves, televisions, the list goes on and on. Most of these devices require 120 volts of alternating electrical current to work correctly and the power companies do their best to provide that to us.
While the power companies do the best they can to give us 120 volts, it is well known that each day there are fluctuations in the voltage as well as random spikes and surges. Voltages vary naturally due to demand. When lots of people run lots of electrical equipment all at the same time, the voltage naturally goes a bit low. The opposite of this is that when most or all the electrical loads are removed, the voltage goes up a bit. Again, the power companies do a good job of regulating all this so that we don't have to worry, right?
Well, yes and no, the engineers who design the electrical and electronic devices we use take some of this natural voltage fluctuation into account. They engineer devices to operate on a range of voltages and they add fuses or circuit breakers to the design to protect the device if the voltage strays too far from 120.
The problems associated with voltage spikes and short duration surges are harder to deal with. These are random, usually happen in less than one one hundred twentieth of a second and can be double or more the average voltage. It is not certain where these spikes come from but some causes include lightning hits that are hundreds of miles away (it is estimated that lighting strikes somewhere on the face of the earth once every two seconds) and turning off and on large electrical motors or other similar magnetic devices.
Most electrical devices and appliances handle these spikes and surges with ease because the spikes are so very quick. Electronic devices like computers and televisions, however, are an exception. The solid state devices that make these devices work are very sensitive to voltage spikes (something about blowing holes in their molecular substrates) and usually fail totally when hit.
What can you do?
- Use a surge protector. A surge protector is designed to absorb spikes and keep the voltage within the proper range. Here are some suggestions to consider when buying a surge protector;
- Look for the UL label that says "transient voltage surge suppressor" or one that meets the criteria for UL 1449.
At the very least, be sure that the surge protector has a circuit breaker or reset button on it. Surge protectors without circuit breakers or reset buttons are known to cause fires and should be avoided.
- Do not place a surge protector near flammable objects and never cover one with flammable items. Surge protectors absorb voltage spikes and covert the energy into heat.
- Understand that the devices in surge protectors damage themselves in the process of absorbing spikes and surges. If the surge protector you are considering does not have an indicator light to tell you if it is protecting your equipment or not, write the date you put the surge protector in service on it and dispose of it after 3 years of use.
- Also, know that after a lightning hit your surge protectors are probably no good. Check all of them and if the indicator light says it is not protecting, get rid of it. (and please don't give it to someone else to use) If it does not have an indicator light and anything in the same building was damaged by lightning, replace the surge protector.
